He’s the staffer Trump refers to as “Oh, look at my African-American over here. Look at him. Are you the greatest?”
Conway said “Ja’ron,” a reference, according to multiple outlets, to Ja’Ron Smith, the administration’s director of urban affairs and revitalization.
She didn’t even have enough respect to learn his last name, or it certainly appears that way. I had thought the days we referred to African-Americans solely by their first names were over. But I would be wrong, yet again.
Hilariously pathetic even for Kellyanne.
What! She forgot to mention the one black guy who stands behind Trump at every rally? Or just never bothered to learn his name because he’s kinda like the wallpaper?
Karl: “Omarosa was the most prominent, high-level African-American serving in the West Wing on Pres. Trump’s staff. Who now is that person?”
Conway: “Can I buy a vowel…?”
“He’s been very involved with Jared Kushner and President Trump on prison reform,” Conway said.
Oh, I’m sure…and the kicker is…ha ha…it’s not the black guy headed there.
What is a African American? 
After naming Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson, who doesn’t work in the White House, Conway said “Ja’ron,” a reference, according to multiple outlets, to Ja’Ron Smith, the administration’s director of urban affairs and revitalization. Smith works in the White House’s East Wing.
“He’s been very involved with Jared Kushner and President Trump on prison reform,” Conway said.
“We have a number of different minorities,” she added later.
Yet Trump will find resistance to the tentative changes from within his own administration, as well as his closest allies on Capitol Hill. Attorney General Jeff Sessions has been ferociously opposed to changing mandatory minimum sentencing guidelines and fought with Grassley over the bill when he was a senator. Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) is another Republican senator who has long voiced objections to the sentencing changes.
It seems Conway’s been tasked with rounding up otherwise objective reporters to be enablers of the racist prez and his admin, and not for the first time. Same thing with calling him “Jon”, which he doesn’t call himself, implying we’re good buds on the same page, aren’t we. Well, hell, the occupant’s never called an elected official by his or her title. They’re Dianne, Dick, Chuck, Nancy etc., putting himself in a superior position at all time. It’s all about the words with these con artists.
She told your own network, Jon, ABC News, the day after she was fired from the White House that she had resigned … She said she never heard him use the N-word.”
Jesse Jackson popularized it in late 80’s. Maybe he can 'splain to her.
The Skank Wraith warps reality, shape-shifts and pukes up another hair ball of mendacity.
“We have a number of different minorities,” she added later.
And that number is zero.
Why should there be African American staffers? After all Kellyanne works for the Republican President. If he has his way he is going to declare all African Americans illegals and deport them to the shithole country of their choice.
I know what you are going to say, for the most part African Americans were brought here in chains 200 years ago. Their descendants are natural born citizens. But think about this like Trump and his supporters. Those African Americans were brought here as slaves. The great Republican Abraham Lincoln made slavery illegal. So those African American ancestors were illegals. There should be no path to citizenship for illegals or their anchor babies. That is why they are packing the Supreme Court with Federalists.
They’re mindset is :
Why would donnie want POC in the WHITE House ? ? …
They’re busy MAGAing there -----
They don’t have time for sports and listening to music …
He doesn’t want to talk to people who can beat him at golf …
He doesn’t like that kind of music anyway —
So how much contact do you regularly have with Trump supporters? You may want to cut back if you can because this sounds like something they’d think up.
If the question was name an Uncle Tom I’m sure kellyhag would have come up with someone.
For what it’s worth, that’s how I heard it, too.

@mattshuham Smith works in the White House’s East Wing.
Now this all gets a bit silly, but … Smith does not work in the East Wing. His office is in the old Eisenhower EOB. He is on the president’s staff, so one can fairly say he’s part of the West Wing operation even though he’s not based in the physical west wing of the White House.
But in any administration, proximity (to the president) is power. So is it a bad sign that there are no African-American staffers based in the White House? I’d say so — although I think anyone who cares has seen more than enough bad signs already and didn’t need this one.
Smith, by the way, used to work on the Hill … for Mike Pence and Jim Jordan; so when Conway refers to him as a “minority,” she’s right.
Don’t give them any ideas. Please.
